AS3 Multiple Collision Problem

programming flash
1

I’m having trouble successfully colliding the player and the blocks that i have descending from the top of the screen. The movieclip (_block) has multiple frames within it that are selected randomly every time it respawns at the top(_block_L, _block_C, _block_R). A simple set of IF statements are not accessing each other, so i figured that I need an Array with a FOR LOOP to handle this. So far I’m having no luck.


private function player():void       
{[INDENT]var collision:Boolean = false;
var blockPos:Array = [_block_L,_block_C,_block_R];
var blockLen:int = blockPos.length;

for (var i:int = 0; i<blockLen; i++)[/INDENT]
        {[INDENT]         if (blockLen*.hitTestObject(_player))[/INDENT]
                {
                    collision = true;
                    if (collision)
                    {
                        
                        livesCount -=  1;
                        removeChild(getChildByName("_player"));
                    }
                }
         }
}
